My Wife Is a Transmigrated Master Cultivator

1173 Inexplicably Taking the Blame (2)

“The disciples of our Long family are witnesses! It’s also a fact that my son’s cultivation was crippled and he’s become crazy.”

Patriarch Long looked a bit impatient. “Steward Zuo, this is something between Tian Hongcheng and me. I advise you not to get involved, otherwise the gains won’t make up for the losses.”

Patriarch Long’s words were obviously threatening.

And Patriarch Long’s public threat undoubtedly made Zuo Wei’s expression very ugly.

Even though the Octagon Sect was in trouble now, the Long family was just a family clan in Hongming City. In front of the Octagon Sect, they were undoubtedly ants.

However, such an ant actually dared to challenge the dignity of the Octagon Sect now. How ridiculous!

Besides, in his opinion, the so-called “evidence” that Patriarch Long mentioned was just a fabrication. Their goal was to get rid of Tian Hongcheng.

Putting aside Tian Hongcheng’s relationship with Alchemist Lu, Zuo Wei couldn’t hand him over, precisely because he was Tian Hongcheng’s good friend.

Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone step on the head of the Octagon Sect in the future?

“Hmph!” Zuo Wei snorted and raised his hand. Immediately, a dozen guards appeared behind him. “Then I want to see how you, Patriarch Long, will make me lose more than I gain!”

“Manager Zuo, are you going to fall out with the Long family for a criminal?”

The patriarch of the Long family didn’t expect that Zuo Wei would fall out with the Long family directly for Tian Hongcheng, who was already of little value.

This made him furious and he hated Tian Hongcheng even more.

Even though his eldest son’s cultivation talent was average, he was still his son. Now that his son was crippled, it was undoubtedly a slap to his face.

He had to regain his dignity for such an embarrassing thing. Otherwise, how would he have the face to stay in Hongming City in the future?

“Ha…”

Zuo Wei sneered and said bluntly, “Do you think a small Long family like yours is worthy of warning us about falling out? Patriarch Long, aren’t you taking yourself too seriously? Or do you think a Long family like yours can resist a large sect?”

What Zuo Wei said obviously escalated this matter to a grudge between the Long family and the Octagon Sect.

Patriarch Long’s face darkened and he almost gritted his teeth.

Even though he wasn’t afraid of the manager of the Octagon Auction House in Haichuan City, he didn’t dare to go against a large sect like the Octagon Sect.

After all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. If the Octagon Sect wanted to deal with the Long family, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

“Steward Zuo, what are you talking about? I told you, this is a personal grudge between me and that criminal, Tian Hongcheng. It has nothing to do with the Octagon Sect at all. Don’t spout nonsense and frame me for being unjust!”

Patriarch Long suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.

Just as Zuo Wei was about to speak, Tian Xiaogui’s furious voice suddenly sounded, “It’s the members of the Long family again. You follow us wherever we go. Are all of you trying to be our shadows?”

Tian Xiaogui was so angry that his face turned red and he walked out angrily, followed by Feng Wenshan and Tian Hongcheng.

“Kid, how dare you speak nonsense? See if I don’t teach you a lesson, an arrogant junior who doesn’t know manners!”

Patriarch Long was already full of anger, and Tian Xiaogui’s appearance undoubtedly was rubbing salt in his wound.

As soon as Patriarch Long finished speaking, the expressions of Zuo Wei and Tian Hongcheng changed.

“Retreat!”

Zuo Wei was the closest to the patriarch of the Long family. After sensing his movements, he immediately stepped up to stop the latter.
